We're in endicott ny for a short trip on the shortest day visiting Diane's mom, her brother and family and freinds.. I decided not to bring my laptop in the spirit of 'unplugging' which makes it a little harder to blog.. But it does make it much easier to goof off.

The day was pretty queit given that we spent about 7 of it driving. We had maxs dog IO in the car which proved to be easier than expected.. She was so great

 

We got to endicott around 3 and had a nice family gathering to do the christmas thing.. We exchanged gifts then had the traditional dinner from Phils chicken house. With romas pizza .. Its been soemthing ive been doing for 32 years.. Theres gerat comfort there

Afterwards we wnet over to see linda. Dave and andrea.. Which was really nice.. Always so good seeing them.. Max brought his rope dart and gave us a short fire show.. Thats always spectacular and apprciated.. And a great way to summon the light back

Lets all welcome the lengthening days.. Happy solstice everyoen.. Blessed be

Nite all, nite sam
